Movie Reviews Archives

As with many modern adaptations, much is lost in translation for those who haven't read the books. But those who have should be pleased.

May be for you if you enjoy deciphering the inner workings of the subconscious, but be prepared to explore some very dark places.

A more or less uncomfortable viewing experience depending on your tolerance for pranks, put-downs and a barrage of bad language.

The mystery allows fans to see Veronica in her full detective glory again, but the case is never as intriguing as the relationships.

A far less muscular take on muscle-car action. Where the Fast & Furious movies are good dumb fun, Need For Speed is merely dumb.

Fun for kids and adults, provides a lot of laughs, teaches a little history, even makes a few points about parent/child relationships.

The bloodshed and lack of character development are laughable, and even the striking visual 'wow factor' of the original has vanished.

A respectful telling of the life of Christ—perhaps too respectful—that, like so many other movies about Jesus, is a mostly solemn affair.

From the first hazy moments shrouded in a faint sense of impending doom to the final resolution, this is a thinking person's action film.

Yet another example of wasted potential, quickly devolving into flat, uninspired storytelling, one-note characters and decent effects.

If this is Hayao Miyazaki's final film, it's a fitting farewell to an artist who inspired wonder in millions of fans both young and old.

Feels like Kevin Costner channeling Liam Neeson in a funnier iteration of Taken. The movies even share the same writer and producer.

Even a sucker for a good sappy tale won't find much to love in the hollow story of a ridiculous couple in a frowned-upon love affair.

What seemed like it might be a fantastic, magical story feels awkwardly stitched together, even laughable when not outright confusing.

If your idea of romantic comedy is that profanity equals hilarity, drunkenness equals happiness and sex equals love, this is for you.
